1.1 Cookies
A "cookie" is a small capacity text file that is saved in your browser or device via websites, applications, online media, and advertisements. There are various kinds of cookies. The cookie provided by the entity that operates the domain you are accessing is called a "first party cookie". As a result, the cookie provided by us while you are visiting https://business.visit-oita.jp/ ("our website") is the first party cookie. The cookie provided by the company that does not operate the domain you are accessing is called a "third party cookie". So, while you are visiting our website, we can allow third parties (for details, see 3.2 below.) to set cookies on your browser, which is a third party cookie. Each cookie lasts for a different period of time. A "session cookie" will last only while your browser is open. When you close the browser, this cookie will be deleted automatically. A "persistent cookie" is another cookie, which means it will survive even after closing the browser. For example, this cookie will recognize your device when you browse the Internet by opening the browser again.
1.2 Similar identification technologies
We call this document a cookie policy, but this document is intended for cookies and other identification technologies that we can use or allow us to use on our service on our company. When this document mentions cookies it should be understood to include such similar technologies.
- "Pixel tags" (also called beacons) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, advertising identifiers, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that website, typically with the permission of the website owner.
- "Local storage" refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache).
- "Browser fingerprinting" is a technique to use the technical information transmitted by the devices for the optimisation of the layout of web content (e.g. system fonts, screen resolution, which plugins you have installed, and what platform your browser is running on) to uniquely identify your browser without installing a persistent identifier (e.g. cookie) on the device.
